U9's ISA 7s Tag Rugby
The U9s Tag Rugby squad gave a fantastic account of themselves at an incredibly tight and close fought Midlands ISA 7s tournament that really went down to the wire.
Crescent kicked off their campaign with two impressively comprehensive 8-2 and 7-3 victories, their powerful running proving too much for both Castle House and Edenhurst. This was then followed by a narrow 5-3 loss to eventual champions OVS, meaning Crescent finished 2nd in their group stage and went into the knock-out competition. Then in true heart-breaking style (think Cov City in the FA Cup) Crescent were defeated by the narrowest of margins in their quarter final.
Despite a strong start, they drew 5-5 with Mylnhurst in regular time, only to lose out 1-0 in extra time. Mylnhurst then went on to only lose by 1 try in the final to OVS, proving just how close the how competition was! Crescent finished in a very respectable 5th position out of 14 on the day, and the whole squad left with their heads held very high.
Player of the tournament was Kian for his aggressive defence and superb, jinking runs.
